Thiol/disulfide homeostasis in gastritis with or without Helicobacter pylori
International Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2022 INTRODUCTION: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate how thiol/disulfide homeostasis is affected in Helicobacter pylori positive and negative gastritis and the efficiency of thiol/disulfide levels in the diagnosis of chronic gastritis. METHODS: Seventy

Ischemia modified albumin level and thiol/disulfide homeostasis in the etiology of tinnitus
International Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2022 INTRODUCTION: Although many theories about the etiology of tinnitus have been proposed, it has not been fully clarified. In this study, we investigated the role of ischemia in the etiology of tinnitus.

NO, thiols and disulfides [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1993 The chemical nature of the messenger molecule, nitric oxide (NO), and especially its reactivity towards thiol groups and disuifides, could explain, at least partly, its intervention in so many different biological processes. NO can be regarded as the smallest molecule suitable for electron transport in biological systems. The S‐nitrosation reaction and

Protein disulfides and protein disulfide oxidoreductases in hyperthermophiles [PDF]
The FEBS Journal, 2006 Disulfide bonds are required for the stability and function of a large number of proteins. Recently, the results from genome analysis have suggested an important role for disulfide bonds concerning the structural stabilization of intracellular proteins from hyperthermophilic Archaea and Bacteria, contrary to the conventional view that structural ...

α-Conotoxin Peptidomimetics: Probing the Minimal Binding Motif for Effective Analgesia
Toxins, 2020 Several analgesic α-conotoxins have been isolated from marine cone snails. Structural modification of native peptides has provided potent and selective analogues for two of its known biological targets—nicotinic acetylcholine and γ-aminobutyric acid ...

A native chemical chaperone in the human eye lens
eLife, 2022 Cataract is one of the most prevalent protein aggregation disorders and still the most common cause of vision loss worldwide. The metabolically quiescent core region of the human lens lacks cellular or protein turnover; it has therefore evolved ...

Dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis in serum of patients with generalized vitiligo [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2019 Vitiligo is a multifactorial disorder commonly associated with hypo-/depigmentation in the skin and may influence both children and adults psychologically because of the notable leopard-skin-like appearance.
